  • Title: [Non-functioning adrenal tumor: clinical analysis of 29 cases].
    Author: Kong C, Zhang M, Liu T.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1995 Sep; 33(9):557-8. PubMed ID: 8731878.
    Abstract:
    29 patients with adrenal tumors were admitted to our hospital from June 1985 to July 1994. The diagnosis was made preoperatively in 7 patients (5 adrenal cyst, 2 adrenal myelolipoma) by B-US, CT or MRI. Of the 22 patients whose diagnosis was not made before operation, 8 (tumor diameter: < 3cm) had adrenal cortical adenomas, 6 (tumor diameter: 3-6cm) adrenal medullary tumor, 8 (tumor diameter: > 6cm) adrenocortical cancer (2), adrenal neuroblastoma (1), metastatic cancer (2), adrenal pheochromocytoma (1) and adrenal lymphatic hyperplasia (1) respectively. All non-functioning adrenal tumors should be treated operatively except for adrenal cyst smaller than 3 cm or adrenal myelolipoma.
